OpenSuse 10.3
If memory serves right, SuSE has a few problems with its TeX setup: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080320.203129.aec3fb49.en.html
But this is not the problem now.
How do you set up TeXLive from the CD? Having launched the apropriate file to my architecture (i-386-linux) I chose the option R (run from CDwithout installing). But now I put back again the texlive from Suse (pity because my disk is falling short of space).
That's your problem: you now have several conflicting TeX installations.
Humm.. that twists my brains. I commented the variable pointing to the binaries of TeXLive CD in ~/.profile Anyway...
3. TeXLive 2008 will be out in a few days. If space is an issue on your system, you may not want to install it since it's pretty big, but it's what I use, and it's pretty straightforward. You have almost everything you'll ever need (ConTeXt, LaTeX, fonts, packages such as tikz, etc.), and the 2008 edition will include an update manager. The decisive step is again to put the path pointing to the TeXLive binaries first in your $PATH variable.
You're just two steps away from success, so don't give up!

They seem two steps of giant for me (so far I have processed only one file with context, a pretty large one, 60 pp., but limiting myself to elementary features). I think I will move away to Ubuntu or some other distro. At the moment I am unhappy with Suse (for other reasons than Tex). For now I will give you a break (going on holiday). Any advice about Tex friendly distros? Thanks Armand
